21st Day in Ningbo, China

Date : 221106
Time : 1030AM

Ate breakfast and stuff and then bummed on the computer till about 11:30 AM. Me and my mom then left to meet my stepdad. We then proceeded to this building which had a fashion fair going on and was having its' last day today. It was raining from the previous night and not stopping. Wasn't heavy rain though, just drizzle, but made the temperature even colder!

Time : 12PM

Arrived at the fashion fair but it actually was just a mini 'lelong' sort of place with many booths selling clothes and such for relatively low prices. My mom went crazy in there, haha. I couldn't resist either and got myself a long sleeve shirt, socks and my first ever suit! The shirt was 8 dollars and guess how much the full suit was?.....wait for it......around 30 SINGAPORE DOLLLLARRRSSS super cheap!!! haha Although i won't be using it anytime soon, i'm sure it'll come in handy in the future. My stepdad bought a suit for the same price too. My mom bought quite some stuff as well.

In the building



Time : 1PM

Following the shopping spree, we hungry piglets then proceeded to TianYi square to get us some Dicos again. This time, wanted my stepdad to try the food there. Apparently he had seen a couple outlets in the U.S when he was there for reservist. Initially, i thought Dicos was from Mexico or something but yeah it's from the U.S. Yummy, they should open some branches in Singapore haha. Ate our lunch, and got some food for the kids as well. BUTT we left their food behind at Dicos when all 3 of us forgot to take it when we walked out! haha Luckily it wasn't much that we bought. Sent my stepdad back to the office while me and my mom went home to welcome the kids home from school.

Time : 4PM

Kids came home in their cute winter jackets. Got a series of pics of Nat jazzing it up for the camera.





Me in my HAUL for the day


Time : 7:45PM

Had dinner, the Ah-Yee cooked these prawns. At first i thought it was just normal prawns, but i found out that it was Mantis Prawns when my mom told me. It tasted like a normal prawn except for a part of it which is apparently the eggs of the prawn. It had no taste and was sorta crunchy. Didn't like that part much though haha. Here's some snaps of it.




Time : 8++PM

Bummed ard, watched parts of Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen with Nat. Watched it before, not one of my favs, but wat the hey, i had to kill time. Went online to do some stuff before retiring to bed pretty early. Had to wake up at 7AM the next day as we were gonna go to Ci Xi, another district in Ningbo, which is an hour 30 mins drive from here. Can't wait to explore!
